Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel foot, probably from a skillet or cauldron. It is triangular in section and with a slightly flared foot. On the exterior surfaces either side of the central ridge are two shallow grooves. The fragment measures 44.74mm in length, 30.54mm at in width at the widest point, 17.35mm in thickness, and weighs 90.65g.
Cast copper alloy feet such as this were in use throughout the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods. Similar examples from Medieval London noted in Egan (1998: no. 462) and Medieval to Post-Medieval Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 565, 567) indicate a date in the 15th-16th century for this example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
